over the weekend house budget meister paul ryan, mitch mcconnell both said the across the board spending cuts sequester has gone through probably around march 1st, and i say good. across the board cuts may not be the best way, but at least we're going to get some smaller government and lower spending. now, most of these so-called cuts, by the way, just represent slower growth. they're not real cuts. a lot of these accounts have been up 50% or more in the last 10 or 20 years. so don't weep too hard. lower spending as a share of the economy is like a tax cut to growth economy. get that, please, it keeps cash in private hands which is far more efficient than the government. government spending is an anti-growth tax hike. just like the failed stimulus package. think of it this way. think of this. deficit spending robs taxpayers to finance government unions and special crony capitalist interest groups. that's why milton friedman called spending the gdp the ultimate tax burden. if you get spending gdp from 25% to 20%, wow, you'll be cooking up some economic growth. now, these cuts so-called it

and it's not just john boehner and paul ryan. this is the narrative that's taken hold throughout all facets of the republican party. it's repeated ad nauseam on fox news. and you even hear it from some moderate conservative thinkers who ought to know better. obama is out to kill the wounded. now that republicans are down. he's not going to make any proposals that republicans might actually sign onto. instead, he's going to make them look bad on things like immigration. but it's interesting -- >> but that's not working, cynthia. >> -- supposed to be the party of personal responsibility. >> that narrative, gene, isn't working because quite clearly there's a bipartisan plan on immigration as we see today. anytime boehner, the speaker of the house, who i don't dislike, would come out for a background check on guns, just push one measure, if he could get that through the house, he'd be a leader on the newtown, connecticut, horror. he could be the leader. it would force harry reid to do the same. he doesn't have to be a victim. >> i th

let's listen to paul ryan. he was on "meet the press." >> i decided to not comment between the election and the inauguration because i wanted to see what kind of presidents we are looking at here, what kind of path and trajectory he was putting his administration on and all of the statements an comments lead me to think he is thinking more of a political conquest than political compromise. >> some already are trying to call this sore losers, same old type of whining. what did you make of everything you heard from congressman ryan? >> it is a combination of two things them president won re-election decisively but the republicans won here, too. the question is where to compromise in the middle in some way, shape or form. congressman ryan is right, he was elected and needs to lead and frame the debate in the conversation. with respect to what was said before this is like gentleman view all over again. moderate democrats and some progressive democrats were chastised by other networks that we should not name when th

look at the way flpresident oba and paul ryan have behaved this week about the issues of our time, the debt ceiling and budget. it seems like the president is still in full campaign mode. his cohort said they're going to engage his campaign infrastructure. >> they're going to set up. >> paul ryan is back to his day job. he's the house budget chairman and he's shown a lot of leadership. i was in williamsburg last week. there was no talk about retrenching and collapsing and giving in to the demands and turning back on their promises. there was great unity and they called the president's and harry reids bluff. they agreed with speaker gingrich when he said don't move the debt ceiling. sequester is the key. >> sequester is the key. it what his boss and president obama do not want. it would trim 1.2 trillion dollars, most of which would come out of social programs. however, if you were going to annihilate the republicans, would you choose to split the gop? in other words, i'm interested in the mechanics of this annihilation scenario. let me begin with immigration. the republican party is sp
